A new poll by newly formed S.C. super PAC, Conservative Solutions, shows Sanford as a shoo-in.

Its survey of likely voters on Saturday and Sunday indicates that in a head-to-head race, Sanford would take nearly 49 percent and Bostic about 36 percent. Nearly 15 percent are undecided, according to the survey, which has a 5 percent margin of error. Grooms’ strongholds would also favor Sanford, particularly Berkeley County, the survey shows.

The Conservative Solutions PAC filed papers with the Federal Election Commission on February 4. Byars told the Packet that the PAC’s purpose is to support conservative candidates, and that it has not donated money to any candidate to date.

Keep in mind, this poll was conducted before the primary, so when respondents were asked about the Sanford-Bostic matchup, it was theoretical.
